In a separate blast targeting a vehicle in the same district wounded four people, officials said.

A third blast targeted a police vehicle in Paghman district on the outskirts of Kabul. Authorities did not say if the blasts were caused by so-called "sticky bombs" attached to the vehicles, or roadside improvised explosive devices.

Wednesday's blasts come a day after militants shot dead four government employees in an ambush in the capital. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks.
